  • knitting in japan

    Dispatch from Japan! I’ve been here since Tuesday, and this is mostly a vacation, but I couldn’t resist doing some yarn-related exploring while here.

  • a visit to skacel

    This blog is quietest when I am at my busiest behind the scenes. I have so many patterns lined up for release this fall and winter, which means I’ll have a ton to share in two or three months, but not so much to share just this moment. I have a few patterns being published… Continue reading
